"Deng Yuanjue, what do you mean!"
Bao Daoyi looked at Deng Yuanjue and said with an unkind expression, he is now the Heavenly Master of Mingjiao who protects the country, and Deng Yuanjue's words just now contained insinuations and were obviously aimed at him.
"What do you mean? You know it yourself! But you still remember my Mingjiao teachings!"
Deng Yuanjue refused to give in, looked at Bao Daoyi and shouted.
Bao Daoyi hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
"Light will conquer darkness!"
Deng Yuanjue glared at Bao Daoyi and said, Mingjiao started by leading the people to resist the tyranny of the government in its early years. Now these people are even more cruel than the government. They want to destroy Mingjiao.
"So what! It's not just Mingjiao now! Shenggong has been crowned emperor. We are a country and we must have laws! Those whose hearts are toward the Song Dynasty are enemies!"
Not to be outdone, Bao Daoyi said that he did not understand the teachings of Mingjiao, but Mingjiao was in the past, and now they have established a country.
"stop fighting!"
Fang La waved his hand irritably to scold Bao Daoyi and Deng Yuanjue who were still arguing.
"Your Majesty, the saint is back!"
A soldier ran into the hall and knelt down and said.
"Girl is back? Please come!"
When Fang La heard this, his face was filled with joy and he said quickly.
"elder brother!"
Fang Baihua entered the hall and saw everyone with different expressions, especially Deng Yuanjue and Bao Daoyi. They probably knew what happened.
"Sister, how's it going? Is Sun Lei willing to send troops?"
Fang La looked at Fang Baihua and asked.
"Leader Sun has sent out troops. Now the army is near Hongze Lake and can go south and enter Yangzhou at any time!"
"On my way back, I heard that the Liangshan army was already confronting the official army!"
Fang Baihua said, which relieved the dull atmosphere a lot. During this period, the imperial army put a lot of pressure on them. Now that Sun Lei's army has arrived, it seems that the pressure will be less.
"When will Sun Lei attack Yangzhou?"
Fang La asked quickly.
"I don't know about this. They may need to take a rest. After all, the Huaiyang Army is still hundreds of miles away from Yangzhou."
Fang Baihua shook her head and said, Sun Lei didn't seem to be in a hurry to send troops, but she couldn't say more, otherwise the morale she had just aroused would be lost again.
"Command the army to prepare for counterattack!"
Fang La looked at the crowd and said loudly, they have always been defeated recently, losing cities and territory, and it's time to fight a turnaround.
"yes!"
Everyone took the order and went out.
"Brother, did Master Deng and Taoist Master Bao quarrel again?"
Fang Baihua asked when she saw that there were no outsiders.
"Stop talking about this, is your trip going well? Why did you go so long?"
Fang La asked.
Fang La didn't want to talk more about the matter between Deng Yuanjue and Bao Daoyi. This was not a matter between two people, but a matter between two factions within the Mingjiao.
Fang La was a long-term worker, and later he founded Mingjiao by chance, but he had no management experience at all. In the early days, it was fine with a small number of people. Later, when there were more people, he almost couldn't control it. After the uprising, the number of people increased sharply and the territory expanded. Well, he can no longer control so many things.
"It went smoothly, but Sun Lei only brought 30,000 people here."
Fang Baihua said.
"Thirty thousand people? That's just a few people? Sun Lei now occupies eighteen state capitals in Shandong and Hebei, hundreds of counties, and it shouldn't be a problem to have a million mercenaries!"
Fang La was a little disappointed when he heard that thirty thousand troops were not what he wanted.
"This...Sun Lei said that he also needs soldiers and horses to garrison there, and Liangshan doesn't seem to have a million soldiers and horses, only a dozen or two hundred thousand at most!"
Fang Baihua shook his head and said, Liangshanbo had to guard against the pressure from Tokyo in the west, and also guard against the pressure from Cangzhou, and it was true that he could not send out many troops.
"Well, thirty thousand is about the same. Sun Lei is famous. At this moment, the Yangzhou army's attention is probably on Sun Lei!"
Fang La laughed and said, Sun Lei has a great reputation, even if he only sends 30,000 troops, the court will have to divide at least 50,000 troops to deal with it.
"take a break!"
Fang La looked at Fang Baihua and smiled.
After handling everything, Fang La left the hall with satisfaction. Bangyuan Cave was surrounded by mountains, and Fang La went directly to a mountain behind.
"Master, good news, Sun Lei has sent troops!"
Fang La walked into a small Buddhist hall and said with a smile.
Inside the Buddhist hall, Old Buddha Wang Gong was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed and chanting sutras.
"Thirteen, it's time to stop!"
Wang Gonglaofu slowly opened his eyes and said.
"Master, now that the matter has come to this, it's too late to stop!"
Fang La refused to do it. Now that the rebels have rebelled and Jiangnan has been conquered, if he stops now, there will be nothing left.
"Are you really sure of guarding Jiangnan?"
Wang Gong Laofu looked at Fang La and asked. Fang La's original plan was to occupy the south of the Yangtze River, rely on the Yangtze River and the imperial court to divide the river to govern, and then plan for the Central Plains.
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. At the beginning of Fang La's uprising, it was overwhelming, but the territory it conquered was not managed well, the promises made became empty words, the people lost their support, and now they are in ruins.
"The foundation of our Ming religion is not deep along the Yangtze River."
Fang La opened his mouth and said that he mainly preached around Hangzhou, and this was his home base.
"Thirteen, listen to my advice and stop when you are ready. The army will go south and enter the mountains to recuperate for the future!"
"As for Sun Lei, he is cunning and cunning. He is the only one who takes advantage. Have you ever seen him suffer? He sent troops this time, but you didn't give him any benefits. Is he really here to help you?"
Wanggong Laofu looked at Fang La and said.
"When the time comes, he and I will rule across the river. If I am in the south of the Yangtze River, he will be in the north of the Yangtze River!"
Fang La said.
Wang Gonglaofu just shook his head helplessly. Jiangbei was not from Mingjiao at all. How could Sun Lei, who didn't suffer any loss, be fooled like this?
"Master, let's not talk about this anymore. There has been a lot of trouble in the church recently. How can I control it?"
Fang La didn't want to talk about those things anymore, but asked Wang Gong and Lao Fo for advice on management methods.
"Just follow the teachings carefully. Those who violate the teachings will be severely punished with decrees!"
Wanggong Laofu said.
"But there are too many people! And I don't have enough food and grass..."
Fang La was a little embarrassed. He knew that Bao Daoyi and those people violated the canon rules, but what could he do? He was short of food and fodder, so he could only send troops to seize food. As for rape and robbery, he could only turn a blind eye.
"You started as the Ming Cult. If you don't even care about this foundation, how can you manage hundreds of thousands of people in the sect?"
Wanggong Laofu said.
Fang La's face was full of tangles, and in the end he could only leave in anger.
"His Majesty!"
When Zheng Biao saw Fang La coming back, he smiled and greeted him.
"Lieutenant Zheng, what's the matter?"
Fang La looked at Zheng Biao and asked.
"I saw that Your Majesty was upset, so I sent you something to help relieve His Majesty's worries!"
Zheng Biao smiled and clapped his hands. Several soldiers carried a box, followed by four beautiful young women.
"Your Majesty, they are all good things!"
Zheng Biao patted the box, pointed at the four beauties and said to Fang La.
"Leave the box and forget about the woman!"
Fang Lahuai waved his hand and said, there must be gold, silver and jewelry in the box, this thing can be of great use.
"Your Majesty, this harem needs to be enriched. Your Majesty is not a womanizer, so you can give it to meritorious ministers!"
Zheng Biao said with a smile.
"Okay, take it!"
Fang La nodded with satisfaction. Although people like Zheng Biao violated religious rules, they were still very smart.
